To learn more about the new construction services that we offer to those in the Lethbridge area, please read on to find out the following:
 
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is on the rise for new construction. Metal roofing is most often made out of steel and is treated with a rustproof coating. It is appropriate for commercial, residential as well as cabins or other homes where the nature can often cause havoc.  Metal roofing has a longer life than shingles; they generally last from 40-70 years. They also provide great energy efficiency as they can help reduce utility costs and are better for the environment as they are made from recycled material.  They are able to withstand the elements of nature, such as ice, hail and snow as well as being able to withstand large impacts, such as branches falling on them.
 
Asphalt Shingles
The most popular roofing choice, as well as the most affordable, is asphalt shingles. Most roofing companies offer shingles in a huge variety of colors and designs, and since they are so popular, they are readily available. They can also be custom made to your specifications. When building new home, you will be able to get exactly what you want with asphalt shingles, at an affordable price.  Installation is fairly easy with asphalt shingles, with most contractors finishing your roof within a couple of days. Asphalt shingle prices can vary based on their material and thickness. The thicker the shingle, the longer life it will have, and the higher the price will be.
 
Commercial
When working on new construction commercial buildings, you want to use a roofing company with a good reputation and efficient workers. Any roofing repairs or maintenance shouldn’t effect the day-to-day operations of your business.  Businesses have reputations to maintain, and their building or structure is vital to that image. Hiring roofers that can give you want you want, and maintain the condition of your roof is crucial. Commercial buildings usually have much different roofing needs than residential, necessitating the need for a professional that is competent in both.
 
Solar Roofing
The very latest in new roofing options is solar roofing. New construction homes are a great opportunity to install these if you are focused mainly on being environmentally friendly. Solar roofing comes in a variety of options including solar shingles and solar tiles. While these options are eco-friendly, keep in mind they change the aesthetic of a home, which is a big concern to some.  While there are lots of options available for solar roofing, it is still an emerging market, with companies releasing new options constantly.
